GOOD OLD DAYS.
BUT LATTER DATS BETTER. THE MARCH OF THE RACE. (By Telegraph.—Own Corretpondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. While they might deplore the tendencies of the present age they should remember that the same complaint had been heard in all ages, said the Rev. C. A. Fraer at the annual meeting of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. The first British historian, he said, had bewailed the moral standard of the British race. Later he quoted from a newspaper published in 1886 in which the same lament was made. Pleas for optimism in regard to the outlook for the human race were made by the Rev. C. E. Perry, Bishop Brodie, and Mr. H. M. Baunehr, the latter saying that the world was a better one today and thing's were brought more into the open, whereas in past day no steps were taken to help the unfortunate.
